Many talks about CXX, and its memory/stiffness. Then why nobody's interested in the Stren Brute Strength, supposed to be CXX without memory? It is even stupidly underrated its pounds exactly like the CXX, for example, 8# is really a 16# line.

Not 100% sure but I don't think they make it anymore.  It was good tough line but it had a huge diameter compared to others.  The 12lb had a diameter of .016 which equivalent to 20lb Trilene XL or 17lb CXX.  

 

If memory serves me right, this line was tough but became softer and stretchier with use.  The more deformed it got, the more it was prone to brake offs.  This probably can be said about a lot of lines though. 

Never heard of it. I like Stren High Impact though. Pretty similar to Big Game.

Yeah, after some more searching, nowhere to find this line anymore. I guess CXX is still the strongest line widely available today? I have done lots of tests recently, CXX beats all other lines at the same or larger measured diameter, including Izorline Platinum and Yo-Zuri Hybrid. One special thing about CXX: it still holds its full strength after been overly stretched to break, which means this line won't give unexpected breakages. Or put it this way: you don't need to worry about the line's strength weaken by excessive stretching after a pull out of snag or a fight with a big fish, just keep fishing.

I have been using CXX for a few years on a couple of set ups and once you get past the memory, it's great line.  I never have had issue with it.

So if she weren't so ugly she'd be pretty?

I only use 8# (0.32 mm actually 16#) and 6# (0.25 actually 10#), no memory or any line management or casting issue. 4# is not that strong, about 5-6# to break at 0.20 mm (quite thin).

Yeah. Pretty ugly, lol.

Im thinking they come off the same machine...same labels and such only diff is yardage and price
